Lawn Replacement

Choosing to replace turf grass is a smart water-saving move for homeowners. Creating an efficient landscape not only beautifies your property, but also helps conserve water and reduce maintenance. If you’re a Medford Water customer, you can get a rebate of up to $1,000 when you replace your lawn with water-wise plants and mulch.

A before and after of a front yard with lawn, and then with rocks, hardscaping and drought friendly plants.

Here’s what your project should include:

1

Drought-Tolerant Plants:

Choose plants that cover at least half of the area when mature and can withstand drought conditions.

2

Mulch Cover:

Use bark or rock mulch to cover the soil, reducing water loss through evaporation.

3

Efficient Irrigation:

Upgrade your existing sprinkler system to drip and watch the savings happen.

4

Permeable Hardscapes:

Include surfaces that allow water to flow through, gradually filtering into the ground.

By following these steps, you’ll create a water-efficient and attractive landscape, and you may be eligible for a rebate from Medford Water.
